What Are Weapons Charges Bail Bonds?
A plain-English breakdown of California's two most common firearm charges, and the mandatory minimum that applies to repeat offenders.
Carrying A Concealed Weapon: Penal Code §25400
PC §25400 makes it illegal to carry a concealed firearm without a valid permit. It's generally a misdemeanor — up to 1 year county jail and a $1,000 fine — but becomes a straight felony under several aggravating factors.
Felon In Possession: Penal Code §29800
PC §29800 prohibits anyone with a prior felony conviction from owning, purchasing, or possessing a firearm. This is a straight felony regardless of the circumstances of possession.
What Makes PC §25400 A Felony
A prior felony or firearm conviction, a stolen firearm, active gang membership, or being otherwise prohibited from possessing a firearm all convert this from a misdemeanor to a felony filing.
A Mandatory Minimum Applies To Repeat Offenders
PC §25400 carries a mandatory minimum 3-month jail sentence for anyone with a prior felony or gun-crime conviction — 3 to 6 months if that prior conviction was itself firearm-related.
What A Weapons Bail Bond Costs
| Total Bail | Standard 10% Premium | 1% Down | Remaining Financed Balance |
|---|---|---|---|
| $5,000 | $500 | $50 | $450 |
| $20,000 | $2,000 | $200 | $1,800 |
| $35,000 | $3,500 | $350 | $3,150 |
| $50,000 | $5,000 | $500 | $4,500 |
| $100,000 | $10,000 | $1,000 | $9,000 |
1% down is a qualification-based tier. The full 10% premium is set by California law and is still owed. A felony filing, a prior felony conviction, or a stolen-firearm allegation typically moves a case to a 5% or 10% tier.

Cosigner Requirements & Qualification
Underwriting
Cases At A Higher Tier
These factors move a weapons case out of the 1% tier. They don't make the bond impossible — they change the down payment.
Felon In Possession Of A Firearm
Always a straight felony under PC §29800, regardless of circumstances.
Felony CCW With Aggravating Factors
Stolen firearm, gang membership, or prior felony converts PC §25400 to a felony.
Mandatory Minimum Triggered
A prior felony or firearm conviction triggers a mandatory minimum 3–6 month jail term.
Prior FTA Or Bond Forfeiture
A history of missing court is the single biggest underwriting red flag on any bond.
No Cosigner Or No Local Ties
Out-of-state defendant, no verifiable income, no cosigner available.
